Fisheries services to be provided in 2006 – 2007
This section contains the specific outputs and services to be delivered in 2006/07 to support the achievement of the contributing outcomes listed earlier in this SOI.
Consultation on the provision of fisheries services
These services have been determined by the Minister of Fisheries following consultation by the Ministry with iwi and stakeholders earlier in 2006 on the services to be delivered. The consultation documents are shown on the Ministry’s web site, together with the advice provided to the Minster to enable him to determine the services as decided on 28 March 2006.
Explanation of year-on-year changes
Explanations for significant changes in services (+/- 10%) between 2005/06 and 2006/07 are noted in the information supplied for each Departmental Output Expense.
Fisheries research
In previous years, the consultation process for fisheries research has been confined to research projects that could be funded within the proposed budget level. For 2006/07 the Ministry has consulted on all its proposed fisheries research projects. The reason for this is to ensure that the Ministry can fully utilise the research budget and gain the best return on its investment in this area, by substituting research projects that will not proceed.
To give effect to this, there are two tiers of projects. The tier 1 projects are those that fall within the approved funding levels. Projects outside the approved funding levels will only be undertaken where tier 1 projects are withdrawn/cancelled, and after consultation on the cost recovery levies. Recovery of costs through levies will only be applied to those projects that are actually undertaken. Any tier 2 project that remains outside the approved funding levels will also not be cost recovered.
Revision of departmental service structure
There is one change in the Ministry's service structure for 2006/07 - "Cost recovery process managed" - has been deleted. There are also changes in the performance expectations of most services. The revised expectations are noted within each of the services.
Statement of forecast service performance for departmental output expenses for the year ending 30 June 2007
Parliament has provided $89.441 million in departmental appropriations for Vote: Fisheries in 2006/07 for the management of New Zealand’s fisheries. These are classified into five Departmental Output Expenses with related service expectations. For the 2006/07 financial year, the estimated costs of services to be provided by the Ministry are set out in the following table, along with the amounts estimated to be recovered from the commercial fishing industry through cost recovery levies and individual transaction charges.
